The St. Louis Cardinals promoted C Steven Hill from their Triple-A Memphis roster Monday, Sept. 10. He is the team's fourth catcher on the expanded roster, but he is more likely to serve as a right-handed bench bat.

The St. Louis Cardinals have placed 3B Matt Carpenter (oblique) on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained right oblique. In a corresponding move, the team purchased C Steven Hill's contract from Triple-A Memphis.
